Why we are doing this work – what are the values (not stats) underlying our commitment to the work (in addition to the obvious fact it’s in the LCAP!)
What has been our past activity on this issue over the last 4 years under Supt. Marten — what have we done already to address.
What are our plans for the current year — what are we committed to doing now — and what resources have we allocated for the work ($ + people)
What results do we have to show for what we have tried to do — and what is the state/national context for these results — are others doing better/worse?
What changes are we implementing to continue building on the above progress and when will we provide the next update
